Demons eye off the Suns' Kade Kolodjashnij

Apparently we are targeting him. #5 pick from 2013 or 2014 I think? Silky outside mid who hasn’t quite got it together yet and could use a fresh start

Probably wouldn’t cost us a lot.

Definitely yes from me.

    Doesn’t sound like there’s much opposition from the suns end, his lack of matches mean his value is pretty low, looks like a good opportunity to me. Given our experience with concussion riddled players in recent years that might also help manage him (although it sounds like he’s past the worst of it). 

    Early 3rd rounder? Or perhaps a direct swap for a current fringe player?

    Can play...he was really good early in his career.

    Half back or wing with a bit of class.

    Forget about the Kelly's of this world, this is exactly the type of trading we need to do.

    He will cost more than a 3rd I suggest. Former 5 pick with 78 games to his name and slowed by injury. I wonder if Tyson could work? 

    Former 5 pick.....That Gold Coast don’t even want

    Would you have accepted a 3rd round pick for brayshaw at the end of last year? 

    Because that's effectively what you are suggesting... top 5 pick over 70 games experience with concussion issues

    Yes! Worth a second round pick (20 - 30) Was pick 5 and showed great early promise. 

    We have to plan for life after Nev and Hibbo. Both 29yo going into next season.

    Do you enjoy following me around GCD? And I’m not even going to get into comparing KK to AB. And I’m not suggesting anything you’ve alluded to.

    He is a genuine talent when up and running. Jason Taylor was a huge wrap for him in his junior days and wanted him at pick 9. But you knew straight away that he was set on getting picked up early.

    I like this interest from the club.

    I'd be happy with this. With Lewis in the twilight of his career he could slot in across half back perfectly for us. 

    If the Suns are happy for him to move on then I doubt they would want much. A three way deal with the Saints perhaps? 

    Saints get: Kent

    Dees get: Kolodjashnij

    Suns get: Third round pick. 

    I know the Saints don't have one of those picks at the moment but I'm sure they can get one.

    Our highest pick is 32, but with 8 or so players to replace would be surprised to see us use that on a trade, would take us out of the first two rounds of the draft altogether.

    Hopefully one of our 3rd round picks will get it done, they don't want to hang on to him regardless of where he was initially drafted.

    Dont mean to be following you around. It just seems to be you're name popping up with the outrageous trade suggestions haha

     Concerned about his concussion issues, but can play. Would be similar value to Kent I would have thought?

    Which suggestions are those? 

    KK who is out of contract and GC telling him to look elsewhere? 3rd round based on those facts is hardly outrageous at all.

    Yes, a few clubs have big holes in their draft options (e.g., Freo with 5 ... and then 77, Saints with 5 and then 57). Trading away your future draft picks is all well and good, but then you end up with no draft picks. Could be some horse-trading for picks.

     A gun in the making, his progress derailed by some concussions and the fact he plays for a horrible club.

    Once Brendan McCartney gets hold of him everyone will see why he was a pick 5.

    Love it, love it. 

    Bit of money ball about it and once again a strategic/targeted list maneuvour . 

    Ive been thinking that the likes of Shiel and Kelly are just too costly, in trade and it $. Pay too much for one player and it gets the rest of the players asking for more too.

    Haven't seen too much of Kade - but he's got toe.

    His brother Jake is a very good player.

    Much better player than Kent but will be interesting to see how he is valued.

    but with GC happy to let him go...who knows where the cards will fall.

    32 might just do it. Or straight swap for Tyson.

    I doubt they would accept a third rounder for him. That’s a pick in the 45-55 range. Can’t see that happening.

    I actually don't mind Koladjaksfndhdhdbsnij as a player. He looked good early on, bit has really disappeared with concussion issues.

    I'd be keen to give him a go. Would be happy with a 3rd round, but would give a second rounder for him if he changed his surname to Smith (just so we didn't have to spell his name on the forum)

    Like gus very talented but had a string of concussions. Huge potential value if we can get him right

    Think we are going to try and turn next years 1st round pick into a handful of later picks this draft.

    Bit hard to explain how we will fill all the vacancies otherwise.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
